All time favourite albums

Oh, man, this varies, pretty much by year or day or my mood but currently I'm really, really enjoying a greatest hits release of Marvin Gaye tunes (eek, don't know the title, and I know a bunch of different ones were made). His early '60s work is so different from his late '60s and '70s work that the two CDs are split that way, and it's almost like listening to 2 separate artists.

Just bought hubby the deluxe editions of Who's Next and My Generation (they both have bonus tracks). He's also in White Stripes' Elephant.

Oh yeah, um, And God Shuffled His Feet by the Crash Test Dummies; Wish and The Head on the Door by the Cure; ELO's Greatest Hits, America - History of America; Odelay by Beck; Abacab by Genesis, etc.

Said it before and I'll say it again....

'Dovetail Joint 001' by Dovetail Joint.

They put out one hit song 'Level on the Inside', which caused me to buy the cd in the first place ~ every song on the cd is great!

Haven't heard a peep out of them since.

The ones that come to mind:

Craven ~ the chef at my restaurant went to see Pearl Jam this past weekend.....

THANK YOU!!!!!

WH,
...Sorta' partial to show tunes, are you? ....I bought those first three albums by Barbra, when they came out, Although I've also owned later ones, I don't think she ever topped those first three.

Booman - Jackie Wilson had an incredible range. Etta James - fantastic voice and delivery. Sam Cooke - wonderful voice.
